This is a new find for us and we are just LOVING it!!! Sally Lloyd-Jones' The Jesus Storybook Bible is perfect for sharing with your kids - and the illustrations are wonderful as well. How often do you read a Bible story and end up thinking something like, "Wow, that David - he was quite a hero." When it's really God's story behind there?!?! I love the subtitle to this book - Every Story Whispers His Name - and that's SO true! We have been working on showing our kids where God is working, and that's why we LOVE this Bible Storybook. It is very God-centered - which is right where we want to be! I highly recommend this one!
